  http://www.poemhunter.com/sappho/
  Part A: History tells us that Sappho’s works were burneden massein the fourth century C.E. and later in the eleventh century C.E., eras in which her poems were considered pornographic because they featured sexual relationships between women. Recall that inWeek 1andWeek 2we discussed texts that examine governance, leadership, and authority as well as citizens’ relationships with authority. Pick one character or author from the list below and write one paragraph telling what that figure would say about burning/banning Sappho’s poetry. Remember, you are not giving your opinion. Rather, your job is to imagine the opinion of the author or fictional character:

  • Homer
  • Odysseus
  • Penelope
  • Confucius
  • Sophocles
  • Creon
  • Haemon
  • Ismene
  • Antigone

  Part B: What do you think? (Yes, now it is time to give your views!). In two paragraphs, argue that one, several, or all of Sappho’s poems should or should not be banned. Be sure to explain your position in detail.

  Reading :

  FAO (2011) The State of Food Insecurity in the World (available at http://www.fao.org/docrep/014/i2330e/i2381e00.pdf)

  UK Government Office for Science (2011) The Future for Food and Farming. See especially Section 6 Ending Hunger (p:115)
  http://www.bis.gov.uk/assets/foresight/docs/food-and-farming/11-546-future-of-food-and-farming-report.pdf

  What does the lecturer expect from the student ? :

  • Introduction: What are you going to argue and conclude?

  • What is food insecurity?

  • Why do neo-calssical writers see markets as the primary level of analysis and how in this view can food insecurity occur?

  • How successfully did structuralist views as embodied in Entitlement Theory challenge the orthodox approaches to food insecurity. What is this theory and what are its implications in terms of food policy?

  • What are the weaknesses of Entitlement Theory?

  • In your view what are the main reasons for food insecurity and which perspective has the most explanatory value and what are the main policies that will help to reduce food insecurity?

  The marking scheme for the exam essays will be as follows:

  • Is there a clear structure to each essay with an introduction that sets out what the essay going to argue and conclude

  • Has the question been answered?

  • Is there a clear focus to the answer?

  • Have the full range of the relevant underlying perspectives been applied to the question?

  • How effectively have the relevant theories/concepts been explained?

  • How successfully have these been critically applied to the question?

  • How much evidence is there of relevant reading/research?

  • How successful is the answer is concisely covering all the relevant material and synthesising the competing arguments?

  • Is there a logical conclusion to the essay?

  What I am ideally looking for across all essays in particular is the following:

  • A clear recognition of the different theoretical schools of thought and what each one has to say about the particular issue/topic

  • Evidence that you have read widely and that you are able to refer to authors

  • That you have developed a logical argument with a clear introduction and structure and a clear conclusion.

  • Better answers will show an attempt to synthesise the arguments and the ability to reconcile competing claims by evaluating both theory and applying this to evidence.

  • Excellent and very good answers will reveal a high level of critical evaluation of the competing perspectives and a clear application to the policy debates.

  Being There- Critical Essay

  $10.00

  Critical Essay Assignment for CM 101

  A key part of CM 101 is the completion of a moderate length critical essay on a substantive book about the media. The essays can take a variety of forms, but I expect that you will demonstrate to me that you understand and can explain and comment on the key theories and information contained in the book that you are writing on. Avoid simple summary: In chapter 1, she says this, then in chapter 2 she says this, etc. But try to cover the key arguments and information in the book. Part of your responsibility is to select what is important in the book about the media and convey it to your reader. Get started soon: you must read and report on the entire book.

  In previous semesters, I have offered about a dozen or so books to choose from. While I still want to be flexible about the subject, I have modified the assignment. For simplicity’s sake, choose one of the following books to write on:
  Jerzy Kosinski, Being There [a fictional work about the consequences of being “raised” by television; it’s about the same length as Fahrenheit 451] ***There is a film of this story, and it is very much worth watching. But your essay must be based on the story, not the film. The film is much different from the story in some respects, and it will be easy to spot if you are relying on the film rather than the story, and if you do so, your essay will be considered unacceptable.

  Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985) [very readable and deeply influential study of contemporary media more geared up for entertaining rather than informing us, and the devastating consequences of this; one chapter of this book, “Reach Out and Elect Someone,” is included in our CM 101 textbook and we will study it in class later in the semester] 163 pages.

  ***If you would like to consider writing on another book, contact me about other possible options that you might suggest or that I might suggest to you. If you want to focus on a substantive media-related book not on the list, you must have it approved by me.

  I have both of these books available in electronic file format. I enclose the file for Being There and a handout of suggestions for an essay on that book so that anyone who wants to get started right away will at least have this material in hand. The files for the Postman book are larger, but I can send them immediately to anyone who wants to consider that book for your essay. Your primary task is to give a full overview of what the book is about, what the critical approach of the author is, etc. Give enough information so that the reader of your essay gets a good sense of what is contained in the book you are reviewing. Indicate what you feel the importance of the book is. What is
  valuable about the information in the book or the arguments that it makes? Are there any key weaknesses in the book? Avoid unnecessary background material and long quotations. If you quote directly from the book, be sure to use quotation marks, and indicate in parentheses what page the quotation comes from, as I do in what follows (p. 17).

  You can – and probably should! – at some point give your critical response to the book. Focus not on whether or not you liked the book or a simple statement of whether or not you agreed with the book, but on a thoughtful evaluation of the book’s credibility, persuasiveness, and effectiveness in doing what it sets out to do, its value to people concerned about the media, etc.

  You will not be able to cover everything in your critical review. But try to focus on, explain, and in one way or another comment on or respond to what you feel are the key ideas in the book. If you choose the Postman book, you may end up focusing on some chapters more than others, but be sure that give serious attention to the entire book. If you focus on just one chapter, no matter how detailed your comments are, I will assume that it is the only chapter that you read, and that is unacceptable for this assignment.

  Length: 1250 words minimum (be sure to include a word count at the end); typed, double-spaced. Use a title for your essay that gives some information about your approach and the focus of your paper. Instead of simply saying:

  Critical Essay for CM 101, or An Analysis of – – -, or just inserting the title of the book that you are focusing on, try to be more specific and informative.

  Be particularly alert to avoiding the following common mistakes in this assignment:

  Especially in writing on Being There: Don’t spend too much of your time simply summarizing the plot. You can give an outline of what happens to orient your reader, but your primary task is to analyze what Kosinski is trying to say about the media in the book. Use details about what happens in the story to back up or otherwise illustrate your
  analysis.

  Focus primarily on the media-related aspects of the book. Being There is a well-respected and wellcrafted piece of literature, with much humor, interesting characters, an intriguing style, etc. But whatever you raise in your essay should have a direct connection with your discussion of the book as a thoughtful commentary on the media.

  Especially in writing on Amusing Ourselves to Death: Be sure that your essay conveys your thoughtful reading of the entire book and the arguments that run through and link all the chapters. As I mention above, if you discuss only one or two of the chapters, I will assume that you’ve only read those sections, and that will weaken your essay.

  Avoid concentrating primarily on the chapter from the book that we cover in class, “Reach out and Elect Someone.” You can certainly discuss this important chapter, but especially if we cover it in class before you turn your essay in, your comments need to go far beyond what we discuss in class.

  In general:
  While it may be useful to make references to readings and/or concepts that we have discussed in class, don’t let this be a distraction: you should spend most of your time concentrating on the book you have chosen to write your essay on.

  This is meant to be an analysis (a discussion of what the book is about, what is particularly persuasive, relevant, significant, about its commentary on the media, etc.) not a response-type of essay (what you liked and didn’t like, etc.). When people ask me whether or not the essay should contain their opinions, I offer the following: By all means include your well-thought out judgment and evaluation of the significance, persuasiveness, and validity of the author’s main ideas, once you have fairly and fully clarified what those ideas are.
  If you have any questions as you work on this assignment, let me know and I’ll try to help (possibly by looking over an outline or draft of your essay). But don’t wait until the last minute to do this. Contact me by e-mail (spgottlieb@aol.com) and I’ll respond as quickly as I can.
